The ethoxylates value chain starts with raw materials such as crude oil, natural gas, palm kernel oil, and coconut oil. To manufacture petroleum-derived ethoxylates, the major raw materials used are crude oil and natural gas. The production process has intermediate products such as ethylene, olefins, and fatty alcohols. For the production of oleo-chemical-derived ethoxylates, common raw materials used are palm kernel oil, coconut oil, and tallow oil. The intermediate products produced in this process are fatty acids, methyl esters, and fatty alcohols. Petrochemical-based alcohol ethoxylates provide additional flexibility based on their carbon chain length varieties and branching. Petrochemical-based and oleo-chemical-based alcohol ethoxylates with similar structures exhibit similar biodegradability and toxicity. These ethoxylates are used in laundry detergents, institutional cleaners, shampoos, disinfectants, dishwashing detergents, and many more applications.

The major manufacturers of ethoxylates are, BASF SE (Germany), Royal Dutch Shell Plc (Netherlands), Huntsman International LLC (U.S.), Stepan Company (U.S.), Clariant AG (Switzerland), The Dow Chemical Company (U.S.), Sasol Ltd (South Africa), India Glycols Ltd. (India), Ineos Group Ltd. (Switzerland), and Solvay (Belgium). Ethoxylates are then either sold directly to the end-users or to distributors. The major end-use industries of ethoxylates are household & personal care, pharmaceutical, agrochemicals, oilfield, and others.
